National Wormhole Day Bloghop



In honor of Albert Einstein’s 134th birthday,
Stephen Tremp, Laura Eno, and Luanne Smith are hosting the
National Wormhole Day Bloghop. 

Here’s the lowdown:

What would you do or where would you go if you could traverse a wormhole through space or time just once? One safe, round trip passage. Would you go back in time and talk some sense into a younger you? Go five years into the future and bring back the Wall Street Journal? See just how the heck the Great Pyramids of Giza were really built? View what the other side of the universe looks like? Kill Hitler?

Tell the world, in 100 words more or less, what you would do if you had a two-way ticket to traverse a wormhole. 

Considering all the financial suffering my family has experienced in the last five years, I should either go back in time and invest in Google or Apple, or go forward and see what stock is super hot, ‘cause damn, college is freakin’ expensive. 

But all I really want to do is go back twenty-eight years, five months, and eighteen days and tell myself that, at eighteen years of age, I am strong enough to raise my daughter, that I can do it on my own and don’t need my parents permission or assistance, that her father and I will have the strongest, most loving marriage ever, that even though it might be selfless to let her go so she might have a better life with the adoptive parents I’d chosen for her, what her father and I have to offer is what is best.

If only…

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Seven



Okay, on the down slope now.  One more week to go.  Whew!    


For Day 7, I got to stretch my literary wings a bit over at LG Smith’s Bards and Prophets.  My topic there:  killing off major characters in a novel.  Shakespeare wasn’t afraid to do it, and neither was I.  LG—or Luann, as I’ve come to know her—is one of my long-time followers.  She’s been coming back to visit for nearly the entire two years I’ve been here on Blogger.  And this lady is whip-smart, like fine-literature-smart, which is why it was a stretch for me to write a post reflecting on similarities with the Immortal Bard, William Shakespeare, someone Luann holds in the highest esteem.  I sure hope I lived up to her standards.            


I know you won’t forget, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

For Day 8 tomorrow—yes, that's a Saturday—I’ll be over at Aimee Jodoin’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman for yet another interview.  I hope you’re not getting too tired of me.
